1 / 24Parcel Cottage
Eastgate, County Durham
A stylish five star holiday home near Eastgate in Weardale for six, with a floor to vaulted ceiling window, a wood burner, a large enclosed lawned garden, a hot tub and two dogs welcome.
In the sunroom at Parcel Cottage a window runs from the floor to the vaulted ceiling, framing the garden and the hills beyond, and up to two dogs may share in the view. This five star, dog friendly holiday home near Eastgate sleeps six in the beautiful Weardale landscape of the North Pennines, and it has been beautifully designed throughout, with lovely artwork, an exposed brick wall and skylights.
The light and airy hallway leads to the first lounge, where the wood burner, comfortable seats and Smart TV make this the dogs' evening haunt once their walking is done. The dual aspect sunroom opens through bi-fold doors to the garden, while the contemporary kitchen with its dining area forms the sociable hub of the house, with a table for six, an island with bar stools and a utility room alongside.
Three comfortable bedrooms each have their own TV, a king size with a luxurious en suite and two doubles, and the family bathroom has a Jacuzzi style bath with mood lighting. The large, enclosed lawned garden looks out to the nearby hills, its attractive stone patio set with furniture for meals outside, and the hot tub sits sheltered under a gazebo, a fine place to unwind with the dogs dozing on the lawn nearby.
Stanhope is close by, and the surrounding country is a dog walker's delight. High Force, the 21 metre waterfall at Forest-in-Teesdale, is 12.5 miles off, the Killhope Museum and Weardale Museum tell the story of the dale, and Hamsterley Forest, 14.5 miles away, has trails for walking, biking and riding.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Parcel Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Parcel Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The house has been set up with dogs genuinely in mind — there's a dedicated hallway with space for coats and boots on one side, and room to sort out a wet dog and their kit on the other before heading further inside.
Are dogs allowed at Parcel Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. What's clear is that the cottage is fully set up for dogs whenever you stay, from the practical hallway to the enclosed lawned garden.
What should I know before visiting Parcel Cottage with my dog?
The garden is enclosed, which gives dogs the freedom to roam safely, and the sunroom with its bi-fold doors onto the lawn is a great spot for them to settle after a walk. The surrounding area is excellent for dog walking — Hamsterley Forest offers forest tracks with few gates, and the open fells above the village are quiet and spacious, though you'll want to be mindful of sheep on the higher ground.
